Networking Hummingbird Solix and Helix

Featured Replies

Good afternoon y'all, 

 

I have had a Solix 15 and a Helix 10 installed on my boat for about 8 months now and am still fighting what seems to be compatibility problems. I have invested a small fortune in getting the necessary cables and adapters to make everything talk to each-other. I have both of my control units up to date with the latest software and still can't seem to get my helix to see my solix transducers and vice versa. I feel like this should be possible and am just missing something minor in my set up. 

 

one of the major hurtles has been getting a thru hull transducer (xp9 20) to talk to my solix. i have acquired a spliter cable to go from 9 pins to 14 pins to no avail.  

 

any help on this topic would be much appreciated and i will be making a video that describes this struggle in detail. 

 

Very Best, 

 

Lou

Have you spoken to Humminbird? I believe the two systems are not fully compatible, so you may be trying to do something that's not designed to work. 

I read on another forum, from a Humminbird tech, that when a Helix and Solix are networked, only waypoints can be shared.
